Dr. P.A. Kiss

When I was about 12 years old, 26 out of my 28 teeth had at least one filling and many of them had more. Restoring that many teeth is not an experience that I would like anyone else to go through, particularly children. It was at that point that I began developing an interest in preventive dental care, and I geared my schooling towards a career in Dentistry.

Following high school, I obtained a diploma in Dental Hygiene from Vancouver Community College, and have been a practicing Dental Hygienist since 1988.

I wanted to further my involvement in my patients' dental care and attained my Dentistry degree from the University of British Columbia. I have been in practice since 1996.

I was born and raised in Kamloops and have lived my life here, aside from my schooling in Vancouver. I share my life with my wife Tara (who was also born and raised here), and our two young girls. I am highly committed to keeping current in proven dental theory, practice and technology. Through continual investment in equipment and technology, and continual education of myself, my staff and my patients, it is my goal to provide high quality dental care with a strong emphasis on prevention.

I also believe that a person's approach to the care of their teeth can be shaped quite significantly by their early experiences with dental professionals. To this end, my goal is to create as positive an environment for my younger patients as I can. (Of course, it is important to create a good environment for the not so young ones as well, but the younger ones need particular attention.)

I would like to extend a welcome to new patients and a thank you to current patients. As my current patients know, I am happy to answer any questions at any time.
